The State law compelling the attendunee
of all children of school
age should he brought to the attention
of every family by the board of
education of every district in the
county. The Telegram publishes
below the salient features of "the
law:
Section 32?Every p<?rson having
charge of a child between the ages
of seven and fourteen shall cause
C the child to attend public school
?r Continuously; failure being punisliable
by two dollars fine for the first
offense, five dollars for subseiju-nt
offences. An offence, it is ur Vrstood,
shall consist of a failure of
such person to -compel the attendance
of the child in his care for onefourth
of the number of days on
which school shall be held"; in othei
wuct Kn in cplinril
three-fourths of the time unless ill
or prevejlied by other reasonable excuse.
All fines "so collected shall hf
paid into the hands of the clerk- of
the board of education who shall
turn them over-to the city collector
for credit to the school fund of the
district.
The act provides also how flu
truant officer shall perform his duties
and specifics in what way he is to
*-?- - 1? -.t ai...
carry out use proviwuii? m uu- >*
law. In this connection it may he
woll to quote- the paragraph referring
to offences:
An offense. as understood by this
net. shall consist of llic failure of
such person to send lo school nny
such child or children for one-fourth
the number of days on which regular
sessions of the public schools are lu-1-1
in any school district, so that such
child or children..shall not l>c in attendance
for at lease three-fourths
of said days in nny fonr consecutive
weeks of the school j-ear of such
di-triet. unless the attendance of
such child or children he prevented
by sickness or other rensonnhle excuse;
provided, that if such child or
- ? ? - t t-j:a r
ctiilflren slum nave grauuaim ji-jih
n sub-district school, or if such child
or children have been otherwise instructed
for a like period of time in
the branches of learning required Inlaw
to he taught in public schools,
or have already acquired such {Tranches,
or if. in the opinion of the
superintendent of said school di-?trict.
the mental or physical co->
tion of such child or children is siii-li
as to render such attendance inexpedient
or impracticable, such penalty
should not he incurred.
BOCKEFETJ/ETt'S WIG.
Tt is evident that John T>. Tloeke/oTlor
has concluded that gift- '
religions schools arc not going t"
save him in the Great Beyond, en-1
now ho is doing every thing under
the sun to prolong his life even to
the wearing of a wig. nlthough-jast

intr his youth. He appeared at the
Euclid Avenue Baptist ehureh S'.mdav
wearing a wisr. his first appearance
witfi it. The congregation ?t
first, did not recognize the oil kin".

l ~
er;, apparently fresh from the tailort
box, set off a costume that was ~l
decidedly spruce and youthful. "
"He held" in his hnnd a pair of
light gloves and over his arm was a
fall coat of dark gray. A light
colored Fedora has surmounted the
head of the richest man in the world.
Wonder of wonders! Beneath that S
lint was hairl Hair of aristocratic gi
gray. Hair where the public had m
be'n accustomed to see a bald and in
naked head. The effect of the wig nr
was. to change Rockefeller's appear- ui
ance to a great degree. He had b;
lopped twenty years off his age. T
"But the wig did not fit. Over tl
t! ears and the back of his neck it n
was evident that the hair had never is
been reared by the oil king. It was n
grown by a poorer and less maligned
man. The wig was made of dirk n
griy?stiff and coarse. There was
ju>t a suspicion of a part on the
left side. 'li
"What has led him to cover his
lie-id is a matter upon which none
of his friends venture to speculate.
X" indication of why or how long he
will wear the new head dress has
come to explain the change."' P
Maybe John has heard ahout the
old .church deacon, who often said
there wns not even a hair between
hitn and Heoven, and there was not 1
?he wns hald. And it may lie that ii
John is honest enough not to want
r t.:? i.
Ith" people to think tluir way m mm. i
At nnv rate lie i= determined to have .1
snmetbin.'* between him ami Heaven 1
' arid the people wonder, if h is not 1
already laboring under n delusion. 1
especially those who have had dealings
with the "System." C

The Editorial Association at Webster
Sprinirs this month will have
ir-tified its taking the time to meet,
if it but nets with sense in the election
of officers. Suppose some '
actual editors lie elected this time?
not some who try to be and some
others who never were and never
will lie. Cofine the editorial "nsso- .
cintion too to the profession and 1
not to the honnrnries and others who (
never were and never will be hon- '
onirics. The owners of newspapers
unless they be editors are not cdi.
tors bv any means and such "should (
. not dominate the association of edi- .
tors.

Tt. does all good to see so ninnv

certainly there ought to be more J
fine horses nnd cattle in it than the
xliibits of the fair indicate? i
S
The management' of the fair has
been roundly abused on occasions,
but it. gels the patronage all tho 1
same. The people are on the side
